The bloodstains on the three storage rings were still fresh, but they did not cover up the flickering light on them.

But the three rays of light did not attract Shen Lian much. He narrowed his eyes slightly, revealing a thoughtful look.

"I don't know which is stronger, my physical body or this bear's."

He had a general idea of ​​the situation within the Vast Sea Secret Realm, an acquired secret realm inherited from the Middle Ages.

Although it is impossible to determine which powerful force built it, the monsters and magical medicines in the secret realm have been passed down.

This is also one of the few places in the South China Sea that can produce third-level spiritual medicines in large quantities.

After being promoted to the Golden Elixir stage, Tianyan's Five Elements magic power had no interest in low-grade spirit stones, and could only maintain normal practice even with medium-grade spirit stones.

If you want to speed up your cultivation, you still have to rely on elixirs.

The divine consciousness slowly spread towards the valley. Generally speaking, the physique of the demon race is inherently stronger than that of humans, but their soul is relatively weaker than that of humans.

To truly discuss strength, we have to look at the specific Jindan cultivator.

This third-level demon king has just used his own strength to prove the horror of his physique.

The valley is filled with evil spirit.

At the end of the valley, on a ten-foot-tall earth-yellow slope, a yellow, crystal-clear elixir swayed.

The blood-eyed black bear that had swallowed a human's golden elixir was surrounded by demonic energy and fell asleep outside the slope.

During this process, a trace of spiritual energy emanated from the elixir and flowed into the black bear through its nostrils.

"Earth Dragon Jade Muscle Grass."

After careful observation, Shen Lian determined that the herb guarded by the black bear was at least seven hundred years old.

Logically speaking, even if this herb is not refined into a pill to improve cultivation, it can be taken raw, which will be of great help to Black Bear's current realm.

I didn't expect that this black bear would just sit there and do nothing. It's really strange that there is a monster that doesn't steal fish.

Judging from the aura from the fight just now, the Blood-Eyed Black Bear's strength is around the early stage of the Golden Core.

A seven-hundred-year-old elixir, three Jindan monks' storage rings, and a third-stage early black bear.

Do you want to take action?

Shen Lian's figure slowly disappeared into the jungle, and he began to carefully examine the surroundings.

Within a radius of a hundred miles, apart from this third-level demon bear king, there is not even a second-level demon beast, nor any first- or second-level spiritual medicine.

Tian Yan's earth escape technique was rampant between the earth and rocks, and one formation flag stone after another was driven into the ground of the valley, covering the valley where the black bear was.

Let me make it clear that the formation was set up in advance not because we were afraid of the black bear, but mainly to prevent accidents.

He set up a formation to surround himself and the black bear, so that he would not be afraid even if other cultivators came from outside.

After making preparations, Shen Lian returned to the outside of the valley again.

"wrong."

When he looked at the three storage rings on the cliff of the valley again, his thoughts were slightly stunned.

The three storage rings proved that three Jindan monks were swallowed by the black bear. For the monsters, the human race is a panacea.

After swallowing three Jindan monks, how come the black bear’s realm is still at the early Jindan stage?

What monk in his right mind would swallow a panacea and not hide it first to improve his own strength.

The bear in front of him had the elixir displayed openly and was sleeping so soundly. It looked abnormal no matter how he looked at it.

"A bear would have such a brain?"

Shen Lian thought about it and didn't move. He decided to wait and see.

"Go and have a look."

Outside the valley, a group of black-horned ants were crawling around, crawling into the valley from all directions.

Being alert, Shen Lian did not use his spiritual sense to get too close to the blood-eyed black bear, but instead adopted the most traditional and simple method.

Let Dahei come up.

A group of black-horned ants were crawling around, digging holes and building nests inside and outside the valley, searching for food, and they were very busy.

However, before the black-horned ant could pass the message back, the blood-eyed black bear was seen waking up from its slumber. It rubbed its huge paws on its thick fur coat and took out a piece of wood.

"Crack". After the wood broke into pieces, a little green liquid precipitated out and fell onto the Earth Dragon Jade Muscle Grass.

The elixir was already sparkling with spiritual light, and after absorbing this drop of spiritual liquid, it burst out with a brilliant spiritual light.

The black bear did not stop its actions and continued to drip spiritual liquid onto the spiritual medicine. The spiritual light on the spiritual medicine became brighter and brighter. The spiritual light that gathered later rushed straight into the sky, and the spiritual energy was like waves, dissipating in all directions.

Seeing this scene, Shen Lian's mouth twitched, his face full of disbelief. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would never have believed that such a big and strong guy could be so cunning.

At this moment, an extremely powerful divine thought swept out from the black bear and spread in all directions.

He was so frightened that he quickly restrained his breath. It turned out that the black bear's spiritual power was not weaker than his.

It is not the early stage of the third stage at all, but the middle stage of the third stage.

Soon, the black bear slowly withdrew its consciousness and lingered several times around the place where Shen Lian was hiding.

Inside the valley, the Blood-Eyed Demon King's consciousness returned to his body, and his pair of blood-red pupils looked outside the valley.

"Come out, I have found you."

“…”

"If you don't come out, do you think I will pull you out?"

“…”

As soon as he finished speaking, the Blood-Eyed Demon King in the valley raised his palm. It seemed like a light palm, but the air in the valley suddenly exploded and gathered madly under the bear's paw.

The soil, rocks, and grass on all sides were also sucked in irresistibly and shattered into pieces by the bear's paw.

There were flying sand and rocks and roaring sounds in the valley, which were finally calmed down by the Blood-Eyed Demon King. However, he also took a piece of crystal ore into his hand.

The ore is khaki in color and has an irregular surface shape. Despite its appearance, one can still sense the formation restrictions inside.

This piece of stone is exactly the formation flag stone refined by Shen Lian. In order to adapt to local conditions, he changed the appearance of the formation flag commonly used by most formation masters and instead molded it into different shapes of stone, fake wood, etc.

But even so, when the distance is too close, it is still inevitable to be discovered.

“Crack!”

The Blood-Eyed Demon King crushed the formation stone in his hand, and as his eyes opened and closed, ripples appeared in his blood-red pupils, and two beams of light emerged.

These eyes were blood red in color, which was the inherited blood-eye magical power, the Spirit-Seeing Pupil Technique, which could see into the energy and blood of living beings.

As long as a living being is alive, there will be circulation of qi and blood.

However, the Blood Eyed Demon King swept across the valley with his bloody eyes, but did not find any trace.

…

"Damn, I almost got tricked by a bear."

Fifty miles away, Shen Lian was riding on a tree branch.

The moment he realized something was wrong, he ran away.

"Um."

At this time, green light flowed on Shen Lian's body, and he suddenly disappeared into a big tree. On the top of a distant mountain, a five-colored spiritual light came at lightning speed and went straight to the valley where the Blood-Eyed Demon King was before.

Looking at the colorful light fading away, he thought for a moment and quietly turned back.

The two Jindan cultivators with the five elements spiritual roots who were outside before were lost. This time, I finally met another one. Let’s take a look at the situation first.

If this person was killed by the black bear, wouldn't he be able to take advantage of the situation?

…

At the edge of the valley, Shen Lian quietly revealed his face, and his eyes were filled with dazzling colorful sword light.

In the valley, a colorful sword shot out and slashed on the black bear's paw.

clang clang!

There was a sound of metal coming from the bear's paw, and the colorful sword was directly knocked back. The bear's paw didn't even shake, but a few hairs fell off.

On the other hand, the figure opposite the Blood-Eyed Demon King looked middle-aged, with a lightning-like vertical line on his forehead.

At the moment the sword fell back, the monk grabbed the sword in his hand like lightning, and the magic power in his dantian poured into the sword like a tide.

In an instant, an extremely dazzling five-colored sword light turned into a size of hundreds of feet. After being activated, a series of colorful mysterious runes swirled around the long sword, and the sword energy shook the valley.

The spiritual sword, which was a hundred feet in size, chopped down, and the bear's paw also enlarged to a hundred feet, grabbing the sword light. The fur on the surface glowed with an ochre light, forming a thick layer of yellow armor.

The rotating sword light continuously collided with the yellow armor, making a roar that shook the mountains. Within a radius of dozens of miles, explosions continued to be heard due to the interwoven energy.

Large amounts of sword energy and earth light fell, causing the cliffs to collapse and the grass and trees to turn into dust.

With an explosion of brutal aura, the Blood-Eyed Demon King rushed out from a pile of shattered rocks, and the ground roared with every step he took.

"Finally, a human who is not a waste has arrived."

"go!"

The Blood-Eyed Demon King opened and closed his eyes, and streaks of blood lit up from his eyes, quickly forming layers of blood-red ocean-like blood light, falling towards the Five Spirit Roots Golden Pill in front of him.

“Crack!”

Facing the oncoming blood-red ocean, the Five Spiritual Roots Golden Core cultivator gently wiped the area between his eyebrows, and lightning-like spiritual patterns suddenly lit up, and a purple electric light appeared out of nowhere.

The purple lightning turned into a size of three meters in a breath, splitting the oncoming blood-red ocean in the middle and dispersing from both sides of the Five Elements Root Golden Pill.

The power of the purple lightning remained undiminished as it landed close to the Blood-Eyed Demon King.

"roar!"

A huge and rich earth-based magic power gushed out crazily, accompanied by crackling sounds, forming dozens of protective barriers in front of the Blood-Eyed Demon King.

The purple electric light tore through dozens of barriers in succession, until the last few layers finally ran out of power and dissipated into an arc of electricity.

"Fellow Daoist, watching the battle from the sidelines, isn't it a loss of spirit?"

At this time, the Five Spirit Roots Golden Core cultivator's eyes flashed like lightning and fell on the place where Shen Lian was hiding. However, he frowned and looked in other directions.

"No one?"

…

In another direction, Shen Lian frowned slightly. The two golden elixirs, a man and a demon in front of him, were both born in the year of the dog. How come they both had such sharp noses?

The smugness he had felt from killing two Jindan masters in a row suddenly disappeared.

Each golden elixir is different. Some golden elixirs are vulnerable to a single blow, while others have many powerful abilities.

"My friend, you are joking. Your Excellency is hunting monsters, and if I join in, wouldn't that be stealing someone's beloved one?"

With this thought, Shen Lian no longer hid his intention. He appeared on the cliff of the valley in a flash and bowed to the Five Spiritual Roots Golden Elixir.

“So we are fellow travelers.”

After taking a closer look at Shen Lian, Yu Danqiu spoke.

Shen Lian understood that what this person meant by fellow practitioners was the fellow practitioners of the Five Elements.

"So it's you, a coward."

The Blood-Eyed Demon King took one look at Shen Lian and immediately confirmed that he was the human cultivator he had not found before.

"The demon king is using the third-level spiritual medicine as bait to lure our human cultivators. I am just passing by, how can I be called a cowardly rat?"

Shen Lian was not angry, but instead bowed to the Blood-Eyed Demon King.

"treacherous"

The Blood-Eyed Demon King snorted coldly.

"You are cunning." Shen Lian was not willing to tolerate this and cursed back immediately.

"I have crushed one of your formation bases to see how your formation works."

As soon as the Blood-Eyed Demon King said this, Yu Danqiu's eyes suddenly locked onto Shen Lian, and his mind swept across the surrounding mountains and fields.

After just a few words, he understood.

The spiritual light that attracted him was deliberately released by the Blood-Eyed Demon King in order to attract Jindan cultivators, and it seemed that he was not the first one to be attracted.

The cultivator in front of him, who had the same five spiritual roots as him, had arrived here first to confront the Demon King, but he did not take action. Instead, he just happened to jump in.

This person even set up a formation here.

Thinking of this, Yu Danqiu looked at Shen Lian with a somewhat unfriendly look.

So, they wanted to pack him up and take him away together with the Demon King.

A tiny early stage Jindan could hide in his perception for such a long time. It seems that it cannot be treated with common sense.

"I wonder which sect you come from?"

"Middle Land."

Shen Lian spoke calmly. He was very curious about the lightning pattern on Yu Danqiu's forehead. It was obvious that he had five spiritual roots, but he could control thunder magic in this way.

"You two, there are countless opportunities and many spiritual medicines in the secret realm. How about giving up?"

After the Blood-Eyed Demon King glanced at Shen Lian and Yu Danqiu, he suddenly spoke.

Yu Danqiu also had the idea of ​​retreating at this moment. Since it was confirmed that the Blood-Eyed Demon King was fishing, and there was another golden elixir of the same clan whose strength was unknown, there was no point in fighting any further. It might become an opportunity for others.

"Then goodbye."

Shen Lian cupped his hands, thinking that there was no point in staying if he couldn't get any advantage.

However, just as he was about to escape, the Blood-Eyed Demon King and Yu Danqiu glanced at each other.

The next moment, everything moved.

A flash of lightning flashed between one person's eyebrows and turned into a purple flying blade.

Blood flowed from the pupils of a demon, and gathered into a blood bead, which smashed onto Shen Lian.

There's nothing we can do, it's because this person hid so deeply.

At this moment, the man and the monster both chose to kill Shen Lian first.

Poof! Being attacked by lightning and blood beads one after another, a ball of blood exploded on Shen Lian's body.

Snap!

The body broke into dozens of pieces in mid-air, and there was a sound of metal clashing. The metallic luster flashing in the cracked bones caught Yu Danqiu's eyes.

Gold? No!

That human body will be made of iron.

This is obviously not the real body.

On the other side, the Blood-Eyed Demon King also noticed something was wrong. He roared and raised one of his bear paws. It grew to several dozen feet in size in the wind, and the bear hair on it swayed like grass.

Buzz! At this moment, Shen Lian's five elements of magic power flashed, and his life magic weapon flew out, with a clanging sound and dazzling lightning and fire.

Brilliant sword lights, wrapped in boundless thunder and fire, flew out vertically from the magic weapon and immediately turned into a rain of thunder and fire swords that enveloped the Blood-Eyed Demon King and Yu Danqiu.

"My two Taoist friends, look at the ship!"
